...close, but no potty. Alexander and I were at Kholes yesterday and when we passed through the kids section he saw a display of big boy underwear. Well, Thomas the Train, Buzz & Woody, and Lighting McQueen certainly caught his eye! When I asked him if he wanted to wear big boy underwear instead of his diaper he said, "Sha!" (In Alexander language that is "Yes") So, I asked him a bunch of questions about going pee-pee on the potty and no more diapers etc. just to make SURE! Well, he gave me all of the right answers so we got two packs. (They were buy one get one 1/2 off so of course I got two packs!) He chose Thomas and Woody & Buzz. Well when we got home he did NOT want to wear them and chose his diaper. So, I put them up on his shelf. This morning he wanted to wear his big boy underwear, so off came the diaper and on went a pair of Woody underwear. Then he was upset that he didn't have Buzz too, so on went a pair of Buzz ones over the Woody pair! So we had a looooooong talk about what to do BEFORE he goes pee-pee. Every 2 minutes I asked him, "Do you have to go pee-pee? Do you want to go sit on your potty?" Well, after 30 minutes and he looked at me and said, "Pee-pee!" Well, I jumped into action! With mind racing and adrenaline pumping I scooped him up, ran to the bathroom, thinking, "This is IT! He's gonna do it!" I took his underwear off and realized that they were soaking wet. Oh well. So, on went the diaper again! My thought...at least he knows WHEN he goes pee-pee!

Close, but no cigar! Or should I say...

He's definitely getting there!! We tried putting the underware on with the diaper over it, so they can feel the wet and get used to not liking that feeling. Less mess for mom! Also, park them on the potty during their favorite show if they'll sit, and watch them like a hawk so you can make a huge production if he goes. We used tattoos for Adam as a reward, and one M&M for Zack.
ReplyDeleteyup! that's a good step!
ReplyDeletei still advocate for naked potty training :) but good luck however you do it!
